Saying Goodbye….

April 24, 2012

How do I say goodbye to a woman that meant the world to me?From a little girl holding on to the hemline of her skirt until an adult wishing I could still sit on her lap.Granny you loved me unconditionally, never giving up hope when everyone else did.I remember your words…“As long as I’m praying for you, then God is on your side Erika and you don’t need anybody else to believe in you more then him.”Thank you for all the good times and sweet memories that will forever live with me.The slippin slide and the “freckle game”, the tea parties and dress up, vacation bible school.Yes, Granny.. I will miss you more then anything but I know that you are happy now in Heaven.But I won’t say goodbye… or so long…But until we meet again, until I see you again and you let me play with your angel wings and greet me with that smile and say…. “I’m so glad to see you again my sweet pea”
